On October 16, 2007, the District Court for the Central District of California issued an order granting in part plaintiff's motion for permanent injunction in the case of Metro-GoldwynMayer Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd, No. CV 01-8541, CV 01-9923, Doc. No. 1287 (C.D. Cal. October 16, 2007). Id. at ¶3. Because both parties cited Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd., 545 U.S. 913 (2005) in their respective moving papers and because the Grokster district court order further clarifies the Ninth Circuit's ruling in A&M Records v. Napster, Inc. 239 F.3d 1004, another case cited to and relied upon by both parties, plaintiff moves this Court for leave to file the short supplemental brief attached hereto as Exhibit A and along with a copy of the District Court's Order. Respectfully submitted,

Dated: October 22, 2007
